Print Modes

[adpi]

What print modes do you guys have set up for different jobs?


For example, when you're doing a 5x20 banner, does a Banner3 mode suffice? Or a 4x8 corex sign for example. What print mode would you usually have that on?


The reason I'm asking, is while making the profiles and picking the print modes what what I think I'll be making, I think I'm having the quality set too high and I fear that by doing so I'm just wasting so much time printing. Some banners and I've done I could have probably gotten away with a lower quality and no one would know the difference. I know no ones going to be looking at a politial sign from 6 inches away critiqing the print, but when I hand something to a customer I dont want them to see what appears to be poor quality when they first look at it closely.

I suppose each job would be different depending on what it consists of, but beforehand I want to have the profiles set up and dont want to spend so much time on every job second guessing what quality setting I should do.

Just looking on some input for whats worked best for everyone else.


Thanks!

This is referred to as Profiling for Purpose, and is an additional benefit of being able to create your own custom modes and profiles on the media products that you use in production. Clearly, image quality requirements differ for various types of projects and customer requirements, and the benefit to you is being able to save ink on those jobs that don't need as much image quality due to increased viewing distance, or other considerations.
